I work as a designer, visual artist, and writer, with an eye for humor, heart, and Houston history. My ideas come from a curious mind, nurtured by a Bachelor of Arts in history from Kenyon College and a Master of Architecture from the University of Houston. Since 2006, I’ve been the brains and creative force behind the history advocacy group Houstorian, dedicated to telling the story of Houston. I’m also the author of The Houstorian Dictionary: An Insider’s Index to Houston and The Houstorian Calendar: Today in Houston History, and serve on the editorial team of Yesterday’s America and the Board of Directors of the Astrodome Conservancy.

I love thinking about words and doodling on cocktail napkins. I find virtue in distilling a design to its most simple form.

Let’s collaborate!
